Hello all! So I just did a Google search of my call sign (which I will not be stating again) and the VERY FIRST thing that came up was my personal email to the club list. I was... kinda shocked and surprised. I was under the impression these emails were for club members ONLY. Apparently this email list is posted to the public and I'm concerned about that. I have personal information in my signature (name, phone number etc. which may be used to send me spam calls) that could easily be parsed by an algorithm... This seems like a major security issue to me and should be fixed. I have to wonder who is sending these emails to this website??? If the club is doing this they should inform us that anything we say on this list is not a private email but a public statement to all of the internet and everyone on the planet.
I would appreciate some feedback on this and how this email I sent to the club was posted publicly on the internet for all the world to see.... Maybe this is the intent of the club, but I will certainly think twice about sending anything out now and censoring my email signature. This must be laid out clearly to all new members. One of many offending post: https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg09908.html The use of the word "Private" is extensive in this page I was sent with my welcome to the list: http://mail.bvarc.org/mailman/listinfo/bvarc_bvarc.org Look.... I'm not SUPER diligent about reading absolutely everything I get, but this seems like an extremely important thing to tell folks... I've been a member for about 2 months so maybe this has been brought up before. I just feel there needs to be more transparency if this is how it is. - My call is in the offending link
